activity of the UN within the

flow of petitions from several
Trust Territories, particularly
under the stimulus of those visit
ing missions, bringing the council
invaluable first-hand accounts by
the inhabitants themselves of
their own problems and aspira
tions.
The Trusteeship council has
also been fully occupied, in the
course of its fifth,sixth and
seventh sessions, with such other
important functions as its exam

Former Mayor
Making Strong
Congress Bid
By C. Goolsby
Clarence G. Miles, who resigned
recently as mayor of Lincoln, is
making a strong bid in the First
Congressional District of the state
for the seat which has been held
by Carl T. Curtis of Minden.
Mr. Miles, a graduate of Cotner
College and the Harvard Law
School, served in the first War
and then returned to the district
! where he has practiced law for
i more than 30 years. He left the
j mayorality because he did not feel
that Nebraskans in this district
were being represented in Con
gress as they ought to be. He op
poses Mr. Curtis primarily on
American defense and American
economic security measures.
As mayor, Mr. Miles was a
strong proponent of low rent
housing in Lincoln, a matter that
is still a vital problem of Negroes
and non-Negroes alike, he has al
ways been willing to listen to
complaints of injustices against
the people, and has included
Negroes among those named to
the Mayor’s Advisory committee
on civic improvement.
Mr. Curtis’s record will not be
considered liberal by Negro
voters. He voted to restore veto
powers to the House Rules com
mittee so that FEPC bills could be
kept from the floor. After FEPC
was brought to the floor of Con
gress, he voted to substitute the
weak measure for the original. He
has also opposed middle income
housing legislation, .voted for the
Kerr natural gas bill to raise gas
rates in Nebraska, voted against
extension of rent control, aid to
Korea, Point 4 (aid to African,
Indian and “backward” areas),
but voted for an amendment to
permit commodity speculation
during national emergencies.

Junto* ted Cross Seeks to Work
Without Regard to Rare or Creed
Progress in
Education
The University of Virginia,
founded by Thomas Jefferson,
will admit its first Negro student
this fall. Virginia’s historic segre
gation barrier was lifted by a
three-judge federal District Court,
which ordered the University to
admit qualified Negroes to its
graduate school of law. Judges
John J. Parker, Morrjs A. Soper
and John Paul granted the in
junction after a 30-minute hear
ing.
Gregory Swanson, a practicing
attorney of Martinsville Virginia
was denied admission to the Uni
versity last July because he is a
Negro. At that time the Attorney
General of Virginia, J. Lindsay
Almond, Jr., advised the Board of
Visitors that if Swanson chose to
contest refusal of his admission
the University would be unable
to defend itself, in view of the
recent Supreme Court decision.
The court decreed that Swanson
or “any other Negro similarly
situated" could not be denied ad
mission because of his or their
race or color to the department
of law, under rights secured by
the Fourteenth Amendment to
the U. S. Constitution.
In North Carolina, meanwhile,
Judge Johnson J. Hayes, of the
U. S. District Court for the Middle
District of that state is studying
a similar case of 10 Negro stu
dents seeking admission to the
Law School of the University of
North Carolina.
Dean Irwin Griswold of the
Harvard School, testifying for the
plaintiffs, told the Court that he
had personally examined the fa
cilities at North Carolina Col
lege for Negroes and found them
grossly inferior to those of the
State Univesrity.

WASHINGTON. (ANP). The, principle of service is as
American as “democracy” or “representative government.”
Yet the idea cannot be taught by precept alone. Young peo
ple must be encouraged to make this American virtue a part
of their lives through daily practice.
To help teachers accomplish this, a laboratory for serv
ice is available through the program of the American Junior
Red Cross in the schools. During 1950, over 19,000,000
young people enrolled for service in over 95,000 elementary
and secondary schools in the United States—public, private,

Share Funds
ATLANTA. (ANP)—Tuskegee
institute and Meharry Medical
college this year will share $256,
000 in funds from the Southern
Regional Education progiam, it
was announced here this week.
Total funds allotted to member
schools, both colored and white,
are $782,500. These funds are al
lotted on the basis of $1,000 per
student for veterinary medicine
training and $1,500 per medical
or dental student.
Meharry and Tuskegee at pres
ent are the only Negro schools
participating in the program. At
tending these schools are 182 stu
dents compared to 402 attending
white schools participating in the
program.
Tuskegee has been awarded
$27,000 for the education of 27
students in veterinary medicine.
Meharry has been awarded
$67,000 for 47 students in den
tistry and $162,000 for 108 stu

Some 14 white schools are co-op
erating with this program.
The participating states con

and parocniai.
Through the international pro
gram of Junior Red Cross, they
joined hands in a common effort
for mutual good with some 33,
000,000 other Junior Red Cross
members in 55 countries around
the world.
Service activities of Junior Red
Cross are three-fold: local, na
tional, international.
Classroom work takes on addi
tional meaning when children can
do something for others while
they arc learning. Articles for
children and adults in hospitals
and other institutions are made
in home economics, industrial or
fine arts, and other classes.
As a part of the school cur
riculum, courses are available in
Red Cross first aid, water safety,
and home nursing. Such knowl
edge can be a real service to the
community in its daily life or in
time of disaster.
Nationally, Junior Red Cross
members constantly provide serv
ice to the armed forces or to vet
erans hosipitals by the production
of special comfort and recreation
articles or holiday favors. They
use their music or dramatic classes
to prepare entertainment for mili
tary and veterans hospitals.
In their social studies classes,
they learn about life in other sec
tions of the United States through
an exchange of school albums
with schools in those sections.
Internationally, Junior Red
Cross provides a unique opportu
nity to assist in stimulating un
derstanding and good will among
young people throughout the
world. The filling of thousands of
gift boxes (over 500,000 during
the school year 1949-1950) has
become a traditional Junior Red
Cross program.
IJy these small tokens of good
will, bonds of friendship are
strengthened. As a supplement to
the gift boxes, high school mem
bers fill school chests with educa
tional, health, and recreational
supplies for schools abroad.
Through international school
correnspondence, class groups pre
pare albums for exchange with
schools overseas. Another activ
ity, which aims to interpret Amer
ican life, that has proved popular
with act teachers, is -the Interna
tional School Art program. In the
third yoar of its existence, over
6,000 pieces of art work have been
shipped to 18 countries.
Although limited in scope, the
International School Music pro
gram aims to interpret the musical
life in American schools by re
cordings. Through voluntary con
tributions of boys and girls, the
National Children’s fund is con
stantly providing quantities of
much needed health and school
supplies.
Nov. 1-15 are the dates set for
the annual Junior Red Cross en
rollment campaign in the schools.
Enrollment is open to all elemen
tary and secondary schools—pub
lfc, vrivate, and parochial.
